Still in 
The Dark 

Investigators struggling to 
unravel worst U.S. blackout 

Waves of power strong enough to run a mid- 
sized city swung wildly between the Midwest, 
New York and Canada. In Cleveland, the 
voltage dropped to zero in an instant. In 
Connecticut, a chunk of the control room’s 
wall of maps flashed green — no juice. 

At a monitoring nerve center in Valley 
Forge, Pa., that oversees the tangle of trans- 
mission lines and substations from New 
Jersey to West Virginia, a huge field of elec- 
tricity dropped out and drained north. 

Engineers watching Thursday’s power 
storm on their screens were as helpless to 
stop it as the people whose elevators jerked 
to a stop mid-floor in Michigan or whose 
subway trains halted in New York City. 

Once it got rolling, the great blackout of 
2003 swept from Ohio to Canada to New 
York City in the time it takes to recover from 
a sneeze, leaving millions in eight states and 
Canada suddenly without electricity. 

So far, the search to fully understand 
the string of failures that led to the biggest 
blackout in U.S. history has turned up bro- 
ken alarms and an initial trio of failed high- 
voltage lines in Ohio. 

The men and women at the control pan- 
els and computer screens watched it all 
happen. Investigators are turning to them, 
and the equipment they run, for answers, (ap)

Ex-Baylor Coach Apologizes for Dennehy Drug Scheme 


AUSTIN, TEXAS I Baylor University’s former 
basketball coach has apologized to one of 
the players he tried to enlist in a scheme to 
cover up alleged NCAA violations by accus- 
ing slain player Patrick Dennehy of dealing 
drugs, the player’s father said Sunday. 

Former coach Dave Bliss met with R.T. 
Guinn on Saturday, Richard Guinn said. The 


meeting at the player’s home came the day after 
secretly recorded audiotapes revealed Bliss had 
tried to use players and an assistant coach to 
portray Dennehy as a drug dealer. 

The player’s father said Bliss brought a tape 
recorder to the meeting Saturday. Richard 
Guinn said he also recorded the meeting and 
gave his copy to Baylor investigators. 


Tapes of previous conver- 
sations between Bliss, assis- 
tant Abar Rouse and players 
show Bliss thought the drug 
story would steer investiga- 
tors away from allegations the 
coach had improperly paid for 
Dennehy ’s tuition, an NCAA violation, (ap)

Probe Examines 
Blackout’s Cause 


The powers back, but 
questions about the 
blackout’s cause remain 

WASHINGTON | Federal investigators 
joined industry teams Sunday in the 
search for clues into what triggered 
the country’s worst power blackout 
as the Bush administration prom- 
ised to get answers and address 
whatever problem is found. 

With power finally restored, life 
was returning to normal in cities 
across the Northeast and Midwest 
Sunday, though there were linger- 
ing reminders: garbage cans over- 
flowing with spoiled food, con- 
tinuing water-boil warnings and 
the flood of questions asking how 
could it happen. 

At the same time the Ohio utility 
company that has found itself at the 
center of the storm because three of 


its power lines have been the focus 
of the investigation, began to take 
the offensive. 

“This issue is far more complex 
than four tripped power lines in 
our system,” said Ralph DiNicola, 
a spokesman for FirstEnergy Corp., 
whose service area includes the 
region south of Cleveland where 
an internal industry probe has been 

focusing. H. JOSEF HEBERT (AP) 

RETURNING TO NORMAL 

Leaders worked to minimize the 
blackout’s effects and prevent a 
similar event from occurring: 

New York: The city govern- 
ment plansto investigate howthe 
blackout disrupted parts of its 
emergency dispatch system. 

Ontario: Officials pleaded 
with businessesandthe public 
to reduce electricity use by 50 
percent in the coming week.

WVa. Hunts Possible Serial Sniper 


CHARLESTON, W.VA. | Authorities 
have expressed concern that 
three recent killings resemble the 
Washington-area sniper shootings 
last October. 

Police have confirmed that the 
three Charleston- area shootings 
could be the work of a single sniper. 
They have also acknowledged that 


the bullets in all three attacks were 
fired from the same caliber and class 
of weapon, all from more than 30 
yards away. They have not linked the 
three to the same weapon. 

The victims lived about 10 miles 
apart, but apparently did not know 
each other. 

Jeanie Patton, 31, was shot in the 


head Thursday while pumping gaso- 
line at a Speedway convenience store. 

Less than two hours later, 26- 
year-old Okey Meadows Jr. was shot 
in the neck at a Go -Mart. And four 
days earlier, Gary Carrier Jr., 34, was 
shot in the head while using a pay 
phone outside another Go -Mart in 
Charleston, (ap)

U.S. No. 4 on Terrorism List 


International research 
says 9/11-style strike 
remains ‘highly likely 

LONDON I Another Sept. 11- style 
terrorism attack is “highly likely” 
in the United States, which ranks 
fourth in an index assessing the risk 
to 186 countries, a research com- 
pany said Sunday. 

The goal of the index, to be pub- 
lished Monday, is to assess the risk 
of terrorism in 186 countries and, 
“crucially, against those countries’ 
interests abroad over the next 12 
months,” he said. 


Five criteria were used: moti- 
vation of terrorists, the presence 
of terror groups, the scale and 
frequency of past attacks, effica- 
cy of the groups in carrying out 
attacks, and prevention — how 
many attacks have been thwarted 
by the country. 

“Another Sept. 11- style terrorist 
attack in the United States is highly 
likely,” the report states. “Networks 
of militant Islamist groups are less 
extensive in the U.S. than they are 
in Western Europe, but U.S. -led 
military action in Afghanistan and 
Iraq has exacerbated anti-US. sen- 
timent.” AUDREY WOODS (AP) 


PREDICTING A STRIKE 

Researchers ranked the follow- 
ing countries most likely to be 
terrorist targets in the next year: 

1 Colombia 

2 Israel 

3 Pakistan 

4 The United States 

5 The Philippines 

6 Afghanistan 

7 Indonesia 

8 Iraq 

9 India

Trial Puts

Biker Gang 

TAMPA, FLA. | For the fourth time

are taking on the Outlaws, an inter- 
national motorcycle club officials 
say more resembles a multina- 
tional corporation, albeit one in 
the business of drug dealing and 
loan sharking. 

Jury selection begins Monday in 
the case against the club’s interna- 
tional president, James Lee “Frank” 
Wheeler, who is accused of helping 
orchestrate crimes committed by 
Outlaws members. 

Wheeler, 60, faces life in pris- 
on if convicted on the racketeering 
charges, which include two murders 
in Indiana and New York. 

The trial will be watched by 
officials around the country and 
in Canada, where fights between 
the Outlaws and other gangs have 
claimed scores of lives. 

The Outlaws are one of the 
nation’s four largest motorcycle 
gangs, along with the Hell’s Angels, 
the Pagans and the Bandidos. 
They have chapters in 17 states, 
Europe, Canada and Australia.

pipeline that exports Iraq’s oil to 
Turkey. The fires were within miles 
of each other, 125 miles northeast 
of Baghdad. Coalition spokesman 
Charles Heatly said the first blaze 


appeared to be sabotage. Police Brig. 
Gen. Ahmed Ibrahim, the new Iraqi 
police commander, vowed to pur- 
sue “a group of conspirators who 
received money from a particular 
party” to blow up the pipeline. 

Military spokesman Col. Guy 
Shields said it would take up to 
two weeks to fix the pipeline.

Police Under Siege in S.E. Afghanistan 


KABUL, AFGHANISTAN | Hundreds 
of insurgents in a convoy of trucks 
attacked a police headquarters in 
southeastern Afghanistan, trigger- 
ing a gunbattle Sunday that killed 
22 people, officials said. It was one 
of the largest shows of anti-govern- 


ment force in over a year. 

The assault began shortly before 
midnight Saturday when about 400 
guerrillas traveling in trucks drove 
across the border from Pakistan and 
attacked the police headquarters, 
about 125 miles southeast of Kabul, 


said provincial Gov. Mohammed Ali 
Jalali. 

The fierce fighting was the latest 
in a wave of violence that has under- 
scored how unstable Afghanistan 
remains after U.S. -led forces top- 
pled the Taliban in late 2001. (ap)

Liberian Rebels 
Drop Key Demand 

MONROVIA, LIBERIA | Liberia’s lead- 
ing rebel group on Sunday dropped 
its demand for a top post in an inter- 
im power-sharing government, 
yielding on a condition that had 
threatened to scuttle a deal to end 
the country’s 3 -year- old war. 

Leaders of Liberians United for 
Reconciliation and Democracy said 
they would no longer insist on the 
vice-chairmanship of a transi- 
tion government that is due to 
lead Liberia for two years. West 
African mediators had given reb- 


els until midnight Saturday to drop 
the demand, saying they otherwise 
would have to suspend peace talks 
for a month. Delegates said the 
power- sharing accord could now 
be signed as soon as Monday. 

Liberia’s two main rebel groups 
and government previously had 
agreed not to seek the top posi- 
tions in the interim government, 
which is due to assume control in 
October, taking over from President 
Moses Blah. Blah, Liberia’s former 
vice president, was sworn in as

Micheel 
Has Major 
Day at PGA 

GOLF I Not many knew Shaun 
Micheel until this weekend. No 
one will forget the shot that won 
him the PGA Championship. 

Clinging to a one-shot lead, 
Micheel hit a 7-iron from the first 
cut of rough that 
stopped 3 inches 
from the cup for a 
tap -in birdie and a 
two -stroke victory, 
the final touch to 
the most surpris- 
ing season of major 
championships in 34 years. 

From 174 yards away, the ball 
descended from the blue skies over 
Oak Hill, hopped three times and 
trickled toward the cup. 

Micheel knew it was good from 
the roar of the crowd in Rochester, 
NY. 

He didn’t know how good until 
he jogged up the steep slope of 
shaggy grass in front of the green 
and saw only 3 inches of grass 
between his ball and the hole. He 
removed his cap and waved it in 
celebration. 

Winless in 163 previous starts 
on the PGA Tour, ranked No. I69 
in the world when he arrived at 
Oak Hill for the final major of the 
year, Micheel closed with an even- 
par 70 and won $1.08 million.

MARY ELLEN SLAYTER’s column 
appears every other Sunday in 
The Washington Post. She chats 
every other Monday at11 a.m. on 
washingtonpost.com/liveonline. 


I have type I diabetes, requiring 
more frequent doctor’s visits than 
the average worker. Should I let 
prospective employers know dur- 
ing the interview process? 

Nope. People have all sorts of 
health problems. All that matters is 
that you can get the job done. 

I’ve been through two rounds of 
interviews (plus a writing sam- 
ple) for a job that I desperate- 
ly want. They said that my writing 
was exactly what they were looking 
for and that they would be in touch 
soon. It’s been over a week since 
I’ve heard from them. Should I call? 
Or would that be pestering since 
they said they’d be in touch? 

Send them an e-mail letting 
them know you are still interested 
in the job. If not, hell, give them a 
call anyway. One call isn’t pestering. 
One call a day is pestering. 

Should you put your security clear- 
ance information on your resume? 
Or mention it in your cover letter? 

Either one sounds fine. 

I will be having a baby in February 
2004 and I don’t plan to return to 
my current job afterward. I have 
two weeks’ maternity leave, dur- 
ing which I plan to look for a new 
job. I’m very nervous about quit- 
ting before I find a job with health 
insurance. But I absolutely refuse 
to return even if I do not find a 
job. Is it ever wise to quit your job 
before finding employment? 

Please do all the moms and 
moms-to-be in the workforce a 
favor: Quit your job before you go 
on leave. There is no legally man- 
dated paid maternity leave in this 
country, so when we pretend like 
we’re going to come back to a job 
after the baby is born, it gives the 
anti-parent owners/managers one 
more reason to justify treating preg- 
nant women like less than serious 
employees, and possibly even drop 
leave programs entirely because 
we’re “abusing” them.

programmers, but that job never 
tested his people skills like this. 

“Sorry,” he says from behind the 
counter at Starbucks. “We’re all out 
of blueberry.” 

Scores of workers, unable to find 
jobs equal to the white-collar posi- 
tions they lost in layoffs, are resort- 
ing to “survival jobs” in food service, 
retail sales, and other fields. 

It’s hard to know how many 
workers have taken such jobs— 
since they’re working, they’re not 
reflected in the unemployment rate. 
But the shift is hinted at in figures 
from the federal Bureau of Labor 
Statistics: 4.7 million people who 
want to work full-time have settled 
for part-time because of econom- 


ic conditions, nearly a 50 percent 
increase from 2000. 

The transformation of the labor 
market has stunned many jobseek- 
ers, said Sharee Wells, an adviser 
with career counseling agency 
Bernard Haldane Associates. “It’s 
extremely difficult for young people 
who didn’t know anything else.” 

Some see a silver lining. Andy 
Massa was making $130,000 a 
year when he lost his job with a 
software company in late 2001. 
An avid golfer, he’s now helping 
run the pro shop at a local golf 
course and selling golf equipment 
at the mall. “It’s a lot simpler and 
less challenging than it used to 
be,” he said. “But I’ve learned to be 
humble.” adam geller (ap)

Unemployed workers forced to look for a survival job can make the best of 
it by adopting certain strategies. Here are some tips from Sharee Wells, a 
job counselor with Bernard Haldane Associates. 

Lookforajobthat allows youto learn a newskill, particularly something 
marketableto another employer. 

Shoot for a position that may give you a foot in the door of a company or 
organization that could offer better opportunities down the line. 

Think about jobs that, however different, are in some way related to what 
you were doing before. 

If you ha\/eio,\\jsi do something: earning a paycheck will make you appear 
less desperate, which can improve your chances with otheremployers. 

If you’ve taken such a position, but it does nothing to enhance your

Affordable health 
insurance can be had 
even without a job 

INSURANCE I Every year, millions of 
Americans who have health insur- 
ance through employers lose it for 
one reason or another: They’re laid 
off, they retire early, they head off 
to college. 

Doing without something as 
basic as health insurance can be 
risky because an unexpected ill- 
ness can devastate your finances for 
years. Private policies are available, 
but finding them takes research and 
they’re often more costly than com- 
pany group rates. 

For someone who loses a job 
with a large or mid- size company, 
the best option is often a COBRA 
policy, said Alan R. Ziegler, pres- 
ident of the Society of Financial 
Service Professionals. COBRA, 
which takes its name from the 
Consolidated Omnibus Budget 
and Reconciliation Act of 1986 
that created it, allows workers to 
continue their employer health care 
coverage after they’ve been laid off 
or voluntarily left a job, generally 
for up to 18 months. 

If that isn’t an option, he said, 
consider joining an organization 
that offers group health insurance 
as a member perk. “I often urge peo- 
ple to look at their local Chamber of 
Commerce or other business group,” 
Ziegler said. “Or if any member of 
the family is in any affinity group 
— say real estate agents or painting 
contractors or other occupational

It contains good, basic information on the types of insurance available,

agencies. The state agencies carry lists of insurance companies approved 
to operate in each state, (ap) 


organizations — check if there’s a 
group policy available.” 

Many, however, end up going 
it alone, and that generally means 
seeking bids from at least four or 
five carriers because premiums and 
coverage vary widely. Insurance 
agents can help, or consumers can 
call local Blue Cross-Blue Shield 
organizations (find yours at 
www.bluecares.com) and HMOs, 
as well as private carriers. 

Gary Lauer, chief execu- 
tive of eHealthInsurance Inc. in 
Sunnyvale, Calif, said a family of 
four could buy insurance for about 
$340 a month with a $500 deduct- 
ible, while a single man in his mid- 
30s would pay about $100 a month. 
In general, the higher the premium, 
the more likely the policy is to have 
both physician and pharmaceutical 
coverage and a low deductible. 

Carrie Holder, 41, of San 
Francisco, lost her health coverage 
when her dot-com employer went 
out of business while she was on 
maternity leave. She and her hus- 
band found a short-term insurance 
policy after comparing several on 
www.ehealthinsurance.com. They 
paid about $150 a month to protect 
against catastrophes, and used their 
savings to cover routine doctor’s vis- 
its and prescriptions. “I called it my 
sleep -at-night coverage,” she said. 
“If any of us landed in the emer- 
gency room, it was covered.”

SINCE YOU ASKED 


Q My credit card interest rate is 
23.99 percent. My credit isn’t 
good enough for me to transfer the 
balance to one of those no-interest 
credit cards, so I’m thinking about 
signing up with a credit counsel- 
ing service to help me lower the 
interest rate. Would this affect my 
credit? As a college student, I am 
not making enough money to pay 
off this card. No matter what I do, 
the balance just won’t go down. 

A Credit counseling can 

indirectly affect your score, 
so it’s not a good option unless 
you’re already falling behind on 
your payments. 

The widely used FICO credit 
scoring formula ignores any 
reference to credit counseling 
in your credit report. Your credit 
card company, however, could 
make you suffer if you use one of 
these services by reporting you 
as late — and that does hurt your 
score. A better approach if you’re 
current on 
your bills is 
to simply get 
serious about 
paying this 
debt off. 

You ab- 
solutely, positively have to stop 
using the card. Freeze it in a block 
of ice if that’s what it takes. Then 
put every extra cent you have 
toward paying off the balance. If 
your current income isn’t suffi- 
cient, get a second job or look for 
other sources of income to help 
you generate more cash. You’d be 
smart to deal with this now, rather 
than wait for things to get worse, 
as credit problems almost inevita- 
bly do. LIZ PULLIAM WESTON (L.A. TIMES)

frequently found at smaller finan- 
cial-planning shops. Often, these 
advisers don’t accept commissions 
and instead charge by the hour or 
levy an annual fee based on the size 
of a client’s account. To find such 
folks, go to www.feeonly.org and 
www.garrettplanningnetwork.com. 


THROW THE BUMS OUT: 

First, check their record 
at www.sec.gov/investor/ 
brokers.htm. Then call. Be leery 
of any adviser who promises high 
returns, suggests you will have 
to trade a lot, implies you won’t 
pay anything for the adviser’s 
services or speaks glowingly 
about cash-value life insurance or 
tax-deferred variable annuities. All 
these strategies are classic ways 
of squeezing fat commissions 
out of unsuspecting investors. 


3 MEET THE CANDIDATES: 

Get them to describe their 
investment philosophy, 
how long they’ve been in the 
business and where they got their 
training. Are they a certified finan- 
cial planner, a chartered financial 
consultant or a certified public 
accountant-personal financial 
specialist? Do they have a busi- 
ness degree? None of these is a 
litmus test. But you want some 
sense you are dealing with a well- 
informed, thoughtful professional. 


TAKE THE BROAD VIEW: 

Pay attention to whether 
advisers talk only about in- 
vestments or whether they discuss 
other financial issues. If an adviser 
is offering only investment manage- 
ment, you probably won’t get your 
money’s worth. Because it’s so hard 
to beat the market, many top-notch 
advisers focus on trying to ensure 
clients reach their financial goals. 
They take a broad view of finance, 
encompassing insurance, housing, 
cars and estate planning. 


5 CHECK THE TAB: If the 

advisers you interview are 
ethical, they will tell you 
— without prompting — exactly 
how much they charge and what 
you will incur in other investment 
expenses. Look for an adviser 
whose total annual cost is less 
than 1.2 percent of your portfolio’s 
value, and preferably below I 
percent. Few will leap that hurdle. 
But if the total cost is much higher, 
it will be difficult to earn decent 
returns. Jonathan Clements (wsj)

Entertainment 


Fashion Victims 




Bad taste is a high 
crime for the accused 
on TV’s ‘Style Court’ 

TELEVISION I In a cavernous TV stu- 
dio off Sunset Boulevard, Kristen 
Palacios, 16, drags her mother 
Deborah in front of a judge. The 
38 -year-old preschool teacher is “on 
trial” for her wardrobe of T-shirts 
with wisecracks like “Your Village 
Called, Its Idiot Is Missing.” 

Judge Henry Roth, a bridal 
designer, part-time DJ and “fash- 
ion expert,” listens to the evidence. 
With an Icelandic former model for 
a bailiff and a leopard-print flag 
above his head, he issues his ver- 
dict: guilty. 

Is Deborah Barrow embar- 
rassed? Don’t be ridiculous. Her 
public humiliation is rewarded with 
free blond highlights, newjeans and 
a crocheted sweater-jacket. 

“Style Court” (weekdays at 8 
p.m.), a series on the Style network, 
is the latest entry into an increas- 
ingly crowded TV genre. 

Typically in makeover shows, 
after a fashion sob story, hair and 
wardrobe stylists work their magic, 
and the program climaxes with “the 
reveal.” 

But in “Style Court,” guilt is not 
a foregone conclusion; the accused 
get to defend themselves. 


In “The Case of Your Hair Needs 
a Workout,” Aristotle Ibasco, a nurse 
from Long Beach, Calif, takes his 
aerobics instructor, Tim Schugt, to 
court. Ibasco claims Schugt’s “Doug 
Henning” hair is distracting. 

“Tim’s hair is what makes him 
distinctive,” says Judge Roth. The 
verdict? Not guilty. 

With the conformist hope of 


good looks now within everyone’s 
grasp, maybe the ideal that it’s 
what’s inside that counts won’t be 
imparted with such fervor. 

On the set of “Style Court,” this 
postmodern fairy tale holds some 


truth for Jean Souders. In the court- 
room for the “reveal,” the formerly 
overalls -clad video producer’s new 
haircut and sexy outfit so impress 
the plaintiff that he asks for a date.

CHEAP DATE: Half-price burger Mondays sizzle at Cowboy Cafe South 
(2421 Columbia Pike, Arlington; 703-486-3467), Whitlow’s on Wilson 
(2854 Wilson Blvd., Arlington; 703-276-9693) and all Clyde’s locations. 



MUSIC I Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was 
an influential part of the Big Band 
revival that took place during the 
late ’90s, no doubt helped by the 
popular move “Swingers,” in which 
the group was featured. 

Their self-titled first album 
made listeners want to jitterbug 
the night away. 

But the interest in swing waned, 
and with “Save My Soul,” BBVD’s 


first release in four years, the band 
has worked hard to add other influ- 
ences without letting the core sound 
suffer. 

“Save My Soul” has a heavy New 
Orleans tint to it on tracks like “You 
Know You Wrong” and “Don’t You 
Feel My Leg.” 

Lead singer Scotty Morris says 
in the press notes that this derives 
from a trip down to the Bourbon 


Belt. “We were booked to play a pri- 
vate event there in 2002,” Morris 
recalls. “Coincidentally, it happened 
at the same time as Jazz Fest. I went 
out, saw all these artists, and sud- 
denly the idea for ‘Save My Soul’ 
came to me in a rush.” 

Thus came some fooling around 
with the sounds of Professor 
Longhair, Fats Domino and Louis 
Armstrong. 

There is also experimenta- 
tion here with the Latin mambo 
sound on “I Like It,” which suits 
the group well. 

“Save My Soul” is not BBVD’s 
best work, but it is a showcase of 
a band trying to change with the 
times, and doing a good job. jSSk

In Brief 


OK, NOW WE BELIEVE THEM 

Demi Moore and toyboy Ashton 
Kutcher are reportedly preparing 
to pose for a photo shoot naked. 

The stars have been dating for 
several months despite a 15 -year 
difference in their ages. Now they 
want to dispel rumors that their 
relationship is not the real deal by 
posing in the flesh together. 

Demi is no stranger to taking her 
clothes off for photographers— in 
1991 she posed nude on the cover of 
Vanity Fair while heavily pregnant 
with her second child, and in 1992 
shed her clothes again for the title 
to show how she had regained her 
figure. (WENN) 


TO THE MOON 

Mike Myers is being considered 
to play The Who drummer Keith 
Moon in a biopic of the musician’s 
life. The Canadian Myers is a huge 
fan of the rocker and has said it 
would be his dream to play Moon, 
who died from a drug overdose in 
1978 at the age of 32. (wenn) 



Myers won’t “Behave!” if he plays 
raucous Who drummer Keith Moon.

TO THE EDITOR 

THE BLACKOUT was a glimpse 
of what the future holds if the 
population continues to explode 
and we depend more and more on 
wires. As these factors increase, 
the demand for electricity grows 
and the system overloads. Under 
these circumstances, the grid will 
not be able to meet the skyrocket- 
ing demand. 

Instead of worrying about the 
lights being on in Times Square, 
we should be focused on conserv- 
ing energy. The American way 
needs to move beyond a fascina- 
tion of more is better to an under- 
standing that individual behavior 
can profoundly impact society. 
We can all make simple changes 
to reduce the demand on energy 
such as turning off lights when 
leaving the house and buying 
Energy Star- qualified products 
that use less energy. 

We also need a strong national 
energy policy that calls for conser- 
vation and clean energy like wind 
and solar power. Investing in green 
energy and conservation measures 
now will pay off in the long run and 
prevent an even greater disaster 
from occurring in the future. The 
time to act is now before another 
crisis happens.

THE BLACKOUT 


live Online 

From washingtonpost. com/liveonline 

M. GRANGER MORGAN , chairman of 
engineering and public policy and 
co-director ofthe Carnegie Mellon 
Electricity Industry Center, discussed 
last week’s blackout on Friday. 


How much of a wake-up call is this 
for fixing the crumbling infrastruc- 
ture of the United States? 

Let’s hope it is a wake-up call to 
upgrade the grid, and to also pay 
attention to better back-up power 
for critical systems and to make 
greater use of distributed genera- 
tion with “smart” control. 

In all of these cases the prob- 
lem is more one of getting the 
incentives and regulation right, 
rather than a problem of new 
technology. 

However, let’s also hope it does 
not cause us to rapidly put new 
policies in place that have not been 
adequately thought through and 
cause a new round of problems. 

Even if this was not terrorism, does 
this blackout expose vulnerabili- 
ties that could be exploited by ter- 
rorists? 

Yes. And there are things we 
could do about them. For example, 
it would be easy to design systems 
so that traffic lights, water systems 
and subways keep running when 
the grid goes down. 

Could the blackout have been 
avoided? Why and how did the 
power outage spread so quickly 
throughout the northeast region? 

Yes, any specific outage could 
be avoided. But we will not be 
able to avoid all (or most) outages 
unless we solve some of the funda- 
mental structural problems with 
the current system. 

The blackout spread rapidly 
because the entire eastern United 
States is connected together, and 
electricity (and associated distur- 
bances) travel at almost the speed 
of light.

Business/F&i Manager 

Passport Nissan has a rare opportunity for the 
right individual to join our organization in our 
Finance Department. This add is for a Business 
Manager. Not a settlement clerk. We only employ 
top talent. Can you settle the deal with profit, 
hang the deal and cash the contract? If so you 
might be who we are looking for. We are seeking a 
career minded individual with good references. 
References should included Lenders. Applicants 
should be experienced in both first and second 
chance financing. You will be required to work 
one Sunday per month. This is not a starter job! 
We are looking a strong closer that deserves more 
respect and better compensation! We currently 
run 80% finance penetration. What can you 
produce with that kind of opportunity? Our 
standard is a minimum of $1,000 per retail and 
our average payout is 21 %. If these numbers don't 
mean anything to you, you're probably not who 
we are looking for!

POLITICS 

Great Big Debate 

The Game Show Network has 
snagged actor GARY COLEMAN 
and adult film star MARY CAREY 
to take part in a gubernatorial 
candidate debate it plans 
to broadcast Oct. 1. They 
will be among a panel of five 
who will appear on the show 
titled “Who Wants to Be 
Governor of California? The 
Debating Game,’’ the network 
announced Friday. It will 
feature a political debate in 
the style of a game show, (ap) 


CELEBRITY 

Stripper Sues Tabloid Over 
Reported Tryst With Ben 

A Canadian stripper has sued the 
National Enquirer, saying the tab- 
loid libeled and slandered her in 
an article that states she had a 
sexual liaison with 
actor BEN AFFLECK. 
The lawsuit claims 
the Aug. 12 issue of 
the Enquirer false- 
ly reported that the 
dancer, Antonella Santini, prosti- 
tuted herself to Affleck. The suit 
further charges that next week’s 
Enquirer includes an interview 
with another dancer, Tammy 
Morris, that contains more false- 
hoods about Santini. (ap) 


MUSIC 

Rock Gives Back 

Rap-rocker KID ROCK will be one of 
the featured celebrities at a three- 
day fund-raiser next 
weekend in his home 
state. He will serve 
as the grand mar- 
shal and leader in 
a motorcycle run at 
the Lapeer Forum Summer Fest, 
which benefits three charities. 


Rock, a Michigan native who now 
lives near Clarkston, was quick to 
sign on to the event when he was 
asked, a charity spokeswoman 
said. (AP)

A Big Fat Paycheck 
For Packing on Pounds 

Diminutive actress RENEE ZELLWEGER 
is reportedly being paid a $3.2 mil- 
lion bonus to pack on the pounds for 
her reprised role as Bridget Jones. 
The “Chicago” star is already on a 
high-fat diet in order to achieve the 
rounder figure needed to play the 
British singleton — and film pro- 
ducers are said to have guaranteed 
her $112,000 for every pound she 
gains over 30. (wenn)
